You Smug Cocksucking Bastards
Oh no, Vancouver isn’t ranked #1 place to live in the world anymore. Those with their smug little illusions of paradise on earth all seem to squirm when they hear that Vancouver has just been ranked #10 in Canada (not the world) by MoneySense Magazine. The rich newsmen and the downtown seawall joggers all dismiss the ranking, looking to the scenery with glazed over eyes extolling that how could anyplace with this view not be heaven? They dismiss with a shrug the MoneySense Criteria such as Jobs, housing costs, access to doctors, cost of living and other such trivial concerns.
Such ignorant fuckery makes me nauseous.
Heaven on earth? There are wretches in the streets. Wretches! An archaic term dredged up from archaic times but here they are again, the wretches. Not junkies, not meth heads, not bums but wretches. People, human beings, laying twitching and sobbing in the street, lost in such an inescapable inferno of misery that they cannot even hold themselves up. I have seen wretches in our streets and I tell you now no human being would be allowed to be reduced to such a state in any place even approaching paradise. Period. That is something you see only in hell my friends.
Now how the fuck did the weather girl, Tamara Taggart, become the smartest person on CTV news? She was the only one to even suggest there might be something to the loss of rank. What reaction does she get from both Bill Good and Coleen Christie for the gentle suggestion that Vancouver might be expensive? Dismissive shrugs and chuckles. We’re rich, who cares what anyone else thinks. “There’s a price to pay to live in paradise,” (Bill Good) seems to be the going response amongst the well to do navel gazers that are currently at the top of the Vancouver food chain. Oh really.
So Vancouver has been decreed land of the rich only, the rest of you can go fuck yourselves.
I’m not surprised at the drop, Vancouver is currently drowning in the massive sea of spooge let loose by the masturbatory activities of the wanker elite. If you guys could stop using your own heads for butt plugs long enough to look outside of your swank, comfortable, sellout existences you might notice that it does actually take more then a diet of fairy dust and angel wings to survive in this chromed-over backwater. Aside from your extremely classist refusal to acknowledge that people at all income levels need to be able to make a living, you are too awe struck by your own solipsistic fantasies to realize that there might be more to livability then jogging, condos and scenery. Putting aside the more practical issues which you openly mock, there are the other things your self indulgent monkey spanking has destroyed. Culture is now almost completely drowned in the unrelenting torrent of jism that has been unleashed by overpaid, talentless fuckheads. Real artists take on shitty jobs to eat, studio space is taken by greedy developers, rents skyrocket, venues disappear. Thrift stores are cleaned out and prices jacked because your pampered ass wants to look retro and are willing to pay vintage stores premium to go scrounge the real deals out from under the poor Whos down in Who-ville who are left with nothing more then a crumb even too small for a mouse.
Anybody else notice notice that crime is getting harsher in Vancouver. Put aside the gang conflicts even. People robbing old women in hospital, someone violently robbing an old man in front of his church or anouther in front of his house, families slaughtered. Its simple math if you take the time to look at it. Making life harder for the poor make the poor harder. Many of these people are struggling to survive! Not do well, not put something away but stop themselves from dying. As costs go up and support goes down the downword pressure on the social make up of our city increases. Law abiders just scrapping by are pushed to casual crime. Casual criminals are pushed to career criminals. Career criminals are pushed into violence, and the violent lose restraint. Pickton happened years ago but things have gotten harsher since then and I wonder what new atrocity is currently festering in the neglected shadows of our poverty stricken streets.
So deal with it you fucks, Vancouver isn’t the best place in the world, not even best place in Canada, to live. Fuck Vancouver, it’s a shit city with attitude problems, like the preppy jocks everyone hates in The Revenge of the Nerds. That’s you buddy. As for the guy who CTV news then cheered might save enough on Shaws Canadian release of the iphone to buy a second car: FUCK YOU.

Well what do you expect from a city that fights changing over to a ward system because East Van might actually have a voice in their own affairs and the things that affect them. How many things that could make life easier for the less fortunate have been shot down by the rich and privileged as they might be just unacceptable? Life in Vancouver under Sam Sullivan has declined so much and in order to clear it up for Olympics he wants to get tough on poor people? Hopefully we can get rid of Kim Il Sullivan before he does us all in.
